I took the comment "Those are the people playing the game. Those should be the people reffing the game" to mean that only women should ref womens games and that games that involve mostly minorities, minorities should ref those games. In other words the demographics of who is PLAYING should determine who calls the game. If that is not what was meant and I misunderstood, then I apologize.
The point I was making was people should be chosen to officiate on merit. If assignors were to hire officials based on the way I interpreted the comment above there would not be equal opp and we would lose a lot of good officials.
Now if you have equally qualified officials from each category we have talked about and you only have one female on staff, then the equally qualified (to the white male official candidate) female ought to get a shot. That is all I am saying.
